First trip of 2011 : Murray's beach provincial park

This was a "no brainer" to go here for our first trip of the year and with the trailer. We know this place, we've camper here a ton of times and it's close enough to home incase something goes wrong. It was the May long weekend and we were at Murray's Beach. The site they gave us was perfect, could have been closer to the bathroom (did a lot of trips with the 3 yr old) but I didn't ask so they aren't to blame. The weather was crappy we had a nice day Friday then Saturday was SOOO COLD and rainy, Sunday was sunny but only about 12 degrees Celsius and windy and Monday we packed up early and came home (turned out to be a nice day but the baby had caught a chill from Saturday's icky weather and was in no way tolerable, lol! For this trip I'd rate it a 8. We could have had nicer weather (no one's fault), the bathrooms we a little walk but very clean and always stocked, the showers cost 25 cents for hot water that gets about 4 minutes or so. I use 50 cents and wait to run out of hot water. Only had 1 incident when there were 3 girls "playing in the shower" while I was waiting to bathe the 3yr old so I could get him to bed: needless to say I was a little irritated. The washers and dryers came in handy after the cold damp Saturday. It was a $1 for each. We had a powered site no water and it was $24 something (under $25) VERY reasonable. The playground area was clean and in great working order. The beach was perfect but too cold to truly enjoy. That is one thing if you decide to try Murray's Beach, the beach will NOT disappoint! it's beautiful and on a clear day you can see the bridge to PEI in the distance. We will definitely go back but we'll wait for warmer weather.
